This was the first time in congressional history that someone served in the Senate while their parent simultaneously served in the House of Representatives. As Senator, Rand Paul’s first legislative proposal was to eliminate five hundred billion from federal expenditures in just one year. Afterward, he proposed a five-year budget plan projected to balance the budget. The Senator stated, during the debt ceiling crisis, that he would only support raising the debt ceiling if a balanced budget amendment was enacted. On August 3rd, he voted against a bill that would raise the debt ceiling. In response to Detroit's declaration of bankruptcy, Paul stated he would not allow the government to attempt to bail out Detroit. In a phone interview with Breitbart on July 19, 2013, Paul said, "I basically say he is bailing them out over my dead body because we don't have any money in Washington." Paul said he thought a federal bailout would send the wrong message to other cities with financial

One of the biggest issues in America today is his next issue “Health Care” which he basically degrades Obamacare and is pushing his parties Patient Care Act.

He planned to resign by the end of the year but because of some caucus turmoil he resigned earlier. “The abrupt decision comes amid heavy pressure from conservatives for Boehner to take a harder line on their causes, most recently over defunding Planned Parenthood as part of a package that would keep the government open. Boehner said he didn't want to put his fellow members through another vote to challenge his leadership.” (CNN). Boehner told the Republicans behind closed doors that he was only planning on serving two terms as speaker. “Boehner also told the lawmakers that Pope Francis' visit to Congress the day before was a crystallizing moment, according to the lawmaker. Boehner then read the prayer of St. Francis to the conference after announcing his decision.” Obama called Boehner after hearing the surprising news and described him as “a good man” who “cares deeply”. Even though they didn't agree with a lot of subjects, Obama said he was someone that understood the government, and that you don’t get everything you want all the time. While House leader Nancy Pelosi spoke of Boehner’s resignation as “seismic for the house.” As for the future McCarthy is the favorite to become the next House

The New York times asked him some question, to one of them he response “ Because people look at you differently, either you’re a candidate or a congressman,” Meaning the people see you differently. They look for different things in a candidate than a congressman. Or people believe the candidate should be discipline, and just stick to the facts. When he was a kid he grew up in Montana, that Washington bureaucrats that forced them to make laws that would changed Montana a little. Ryan feells a little weird about this, seeing they don’t know what Montana means to the people that grew up

Jon Kyle, the first Gingrich senator to rise to a party leadership position was a supporter of any and all tax cuts until the President’s Democratic cacaus announced their desire to extend the payroll tax reduction. Kyl was one of the first to announce his opposition to not only the way in which the extention would be funded, but the tax cut itself. Another Gingrich senator, Tom Coburn, was responsible for introducing an amendment to the Afordable Health Care Act which suggested that the Democrats wanted sex offenders to have access to Viagra in the insurance markets the bill established. During the 2010 Congress, 19 of these Gingrinch Senators introduced half of the 419 roll call amendments, not to improve upon legislation, but to stall

The number one cause of runaway debt—now more than $19 trillion—is the cost of entitlements. The country needs Social Security and Medicare to ensure the health of senior citizens and prevent them from falling into poverty. These programs are so inefficient, wasteful, and susceptible to fraud that their costs are out of control. The result is that the government must borrow vast sums to keep the programs going. The Obama administration has already added $9 trillion to the debt, almost as much as every previous administration combined. Trump will add 10 trillion within the first 4 years and Clinton will add 3 trillion as well. There are three major roadblocks standing in the way of a stronger economy: a tax code that rewards special interests while hurting small businesses, excessive regulations that cost businesses almost $2 trillion per year, and runaway entitlement spending that multiplies the national debt. Trump’s plan will increase the National debt by 10 trillion dollars as estimated by experts while Hillary will increase the debt by 3 trillion. Evan McMullin will dismantle these roadblocks. He will make the tax code fairer and simpler, helping to spur business innovation, especially the growth of small businesses, which

Engler said, “It is now 2012. The US detention facility at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba – which has held hundreds of prisoners without trial and has been the site of torture and abuse – remains open.” (Engler 53). Engler is not the only one who claims Obama has not kept his promises, but also Paul Ryan, who wrote the article, “Obama’s First Year Mocks Campaign Promises.” Ryan said, “It is clear that the reality of his agenda bears little resemblance to the hopeful vision most Americans had when he was inaugurated last January.” (Ryan 18). Ryan also claimed our nation faced difficult economic and fiscal situations at the time giving statements like mounting job losses, unrelenting healthcare cost increases, the unsustainable path of federal spending and the looming entitlement crisis (Ryan 18). All this was seen during Obama’s first anniversary of administration as president (Ryan 18). Ryan turns to making his promises called, “The New ‘Road Map’,” concerning the next generations to come, by offering better healthcare, social security, reforming tax code, and roadmap 2.0 consisting of specific policies backed up by sound, credible estimates of its fiscal and economic consequences (Ryan 18). Making better promises for the one’s Obama couldn’t keep, but can he? Obama is not the only president to “promise” to do or change a

In a statement released in anticipation of Trump's announcement, Ryan's primary challenger, Paul Nehlen praised Trump's leadership, adding his refusal to endorse Ryan "sent a clear signal to Wisconsin voters."
